The Works of Rev. Philip Doddridge contains the 10-volume edition of his collected works, five volumes of his correspondence, plus two biographical works covering the life and work of this deeply pious and influential writer and preacher. Along with Doddridge's masterwork Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul, this collection includes his popular Life of Colonel Gardiner and A Course of Lectures on Pneumatology, Ethics, and Divinity. Over 50 sermons are included, and they cover such topics as the power and grace of Christ, regeneration, salvation, and more. A prolific hymn writer, almost 400 hymns inspired by the Old and New Testaments are included. Also included is Doddridge's Family Expositor, his beloved Gospel harmony and multi-volume commentary on the New Testament.
I know no expositor who unites so many advantages as Doddridge; whether you regard the fidelity of his version, the fullness and perspicuity of his composition, the utility of his general and historical information, the impartiality of his doctrinal comments, or, lastly, the piety and pastoral earnestness of his moral and religious applications.
—Shute Barrington, Bishop of Durham
Volume one of the Works of Rev. Philip Doddridge contains:
[Issac] Watts encouraged Doddridge to write The Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul (1745), for which he is best known. This devotional classic of spiritual maturity was instrumental in the conversion of William Wilberforce. It represents the best of experimental piety of earlier Puritans, and its wise and practical guidance can encourage contemporary readers to deepen their lives in Christ.
Volume two of the Works of Rev. Philip Doddridge contains:
Volume three of the Works of Rev. Philip Doddridge contains:
Volume four of the Works of Rev. Philip Doddridge contains:
Volume five of the Works of Rev. Philip Doddridge contains:
Volume six of the Works of Rev. Philip Doddridge contains the first volume of the Family Expositor, Doddridge's multi-volume commentary of the New Testament intended for family and laity use. Doddridge prepared the first part of the commentary as a harmony, weaving together material from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to form one continuous narrative that includes everything in the Gospels. It is compiled in chronological order, and offers a compact and readable glimpse into the life and work of Jesus Christ.
Whilst Philip Doddridge has immortalized himself by his Rise and Progress, he has, also, illuminated many minds and refreshed many hearts by his Expositor of the New Testament. He was a man of good, perhaps rare scholarship for his day.
—Biblical Repository and Classical Review
The concurrent testimony of the most eminent divines have long since raised the Expositor to a distinguished rank among our ablest expository writings. It is justly considered as a model of elegant and candid criticism in the notes. It is a works which can scarcely be recommended too much, or consulted too frequently.
—British Librarian
Few men were so active as well as devout, so amiable in private or so useful in public life, in any country or in any age.

John Stoughton covers the entire life and works of Philip Doddridge: his early days, his public career as a minister, tutor, and author, his social retirement his spiritual life, his last days, and his legacy. Includes an introductory essay by Stoughton, "Dissent in the Reign of William III."
A brief, lively, and, upon the whole, satisfactory view of the character and labors of one of the most interesting and useful ministers that England ever produced.
—The Christian Review
Mr. Stoughton has done full justice to the occasion and to the theme. We are free to say that we have read it with singular gratification, and that we fully share in the writer's hope, 'that it may be the means of inspiring in some cases, of reviving in others, that beautiful, earnest, and practical piety of which Doddridge was so illustrious an example.' We believe that this elegant eulogy, belonging to a class of compositions which we should be glad to see more frequently, is wisely adapted to these ends, and we anticipate for it a large circulation and enduring popularity.
—Eclectic Review
This is an elegant and rather extensive sketch of the leading circumstances in the life of a man of considerable talent and much eminence among the Congregational order of Christians in England.
—Merchants' Magazine and Commercial Review
The life and work of Philip Doddridge is brought to light in a full and satisfying way with Charles Stanford's biography. From his early life, to his later years as an esteemed author and preacher, Stanford paints a picture of a deeply pious man whose work and teachings touched more than a few.
Doddridge's name is a household word among us, but few know much about his personal history. This little volume gives full details of his life, and shows him to have been one of the foremost and best men of the last century.
—The Presbyterian Review
St. Stanford's sketch of Doddridge is in every way admirable. It is crisp, quaint, picturesque, scholarly, wise, and full of tender grace and sympathy. Succinctly, and yet sufficiently, it touches every point with penetrating instinct, and with a range of information that constitutes a fitting setting. It is a striking illustration of quiet goodness. A more striking piece of biography has not latterly been done.
—The British Quarterly Review
The story of the life and life-work of Doddridge is told by Dr. Stanford with felicitous grace and extraordinary animation. The romance and the conflict of the life, the delicate culture and high breeding of the man, and the various results of his sanctified intelligence and consecrated sense, are delineated with subtle tact and fine feeling.
—Evangelical Magazine
Dr. Stanford has produced one of the most charming biographies it has ever been our privilege to read. It is interesting from the first page to the last.
—Evangelical Magazine
Philip Doddridge (1702–1751) was born in London and educated at the Dissenting academy at Kibworth in Leicestershire. In 1723 he became the first principal of the Daventry Academy and started his pastorate of an independent congregation at Northampton. His popularity and influence grew with the help of his memorable sermons and successful books, and he maintained a circle of influential independent religious thinkers and writers, including fellow Dissenter Isaac Watts. He was a prolific writer, penning over 400 hymns, plus publishing tracts, sermons, books, essays, and more. In 1736, King's College and Robert Gordon's College, both in Aberdeen, awarded Doddridge a Doctorate of Divinity for his theological contributions.
The academy he started would later be formed into New College, London, and almost 300 hundred years later, the church he pastored for more than 20 years is still unofficially known as "Doddridge Church" and is located on Doddridge Street, Northampton.
